EU agrees on 50 billion euro fund for Ukraine in war with Russia

The European Union has committed to a 50 billion euro fund to support Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. The fund, consisting of loans and grants to be distributed over the next four years, received unanimous support from EU member nations. This came after Hungary's Viktor Orban agreed to join his European counterparts. Ukraine views the EU funds as crucial for its economy, particularly as USAID is being debated in Congress.
